“They Game-Planned Me”
September 17th, 2024
Life as your team’s major edge rush threat isn’t so fun.
Attention is not what edge rushers want. And per YaYa Diaby, he got a ton of it Sunday in Detroit.
“I ain’t going to lie. Yesterday, they game-planned me, man. They were chipping me every play,” Diaby told the Buccaneers Radio Network.
Of course, the Bucs ran their share of pass rush games to help get Diaby free. He also played 65 snaps (76 percent) and found three official quarterback hits.
Diaby acknowledged that he was worn out by the end of the game and had to dig deep for the Lions’ final drive.
That’s the next step for a top young edge rusher, getting massive attention from a defense. Diaby will have to adjust and prove that he can rise above it — or the Bucs will have to find a beastly edge rusher to put opposite Diaby so either one can be dangerous consistently.

We were chipping…or trying to chip Hutchinson most of the day….

Get him to start doing stunts, have him stint and blast up the middle.

4 QB hits if you count the one that cost the team half the distance to the goal.

We need Kancey back badly
September 17th, 2024 at 11:27 am
Kancy is missed big time

Yea he’s not close to being on Hutchinson level or shaq level for that matter. Really remember someone saying it’s going to be easy to take him out of the gameplan when you only have one pass rusher. It’s only week 2. One team is eventually going to find a formula and the rest of the league will exploit it too which is probably what happened last year.

Joe!! Stephen A has the Bucs in his top 5!!!
September 17th, 2024 at 11:39 am
He has a ways to go.

First take is getting ready to do a segment on Baker

Everybody has a plan until you punch them in the mouth.

YaYa is whining, not a good sign. JMac is whining about PI’s too. These guys need to man up and be more resilient.
September 17th, 2024 at 12:03 pm
Send Devin White …..check that….how about the rest of the team….zero sacks
September 17th, 2024 at 12:12 pm
Maybe he’ll get his when porcelain doll comes back.

We barely touched Aiden Hutchinson the tackle the tight end or rb skule was on an island he is probably in a psych ward right now thinking about how he was token advantage of

Hutchinson just a notch below TJ Watt and Myles Garrett but not much. Would be nice if Bucs could find such a player in 2025 draft. Yaya is not the guy but it is a hard standard. Not sure where Bucs find that guy in next year’s draft. They are picked early and high for a reason. Just have to keep on developing YaYa so he can be in next tier.

I tell who is whining is you. We goi out and beat a lions team that we were 7.5 point under dogs to. Don’t give up but one touchdown and here you are whining about a dam good Yaya and McMillan

I wonder why the Bucs didn’t game-plan Aidan Hutchinson, it wasn’t until the second half that Skule started getting help.
September 17th, 2024 at 2:12 pm
i remember JJP and SHAQ flip flopping sides during the game…maybe bowles should allow yaya and JTS do the same…but i love this kids motor
GO BUCS!!!!
September 17th, 2024 at 2:26 pm
What was Hutchinson’s excuse!? Hmmmm… Let’s please NOT hear any excuses, dude.
September 17th, 2024 at 2:55 pm
True, Bucs tried to chip Hutch all day, didn’t work. Pick it up Ya Ya no excuses.
September 17th, 2024 at 3:45 pm
YaYa was the practice warrior, couldn’t be stopped before he got hurt, and shut the rest of camp down. We were talking about practice. We got another rookie coming in that will probably be holding the ball longer than Goeff. Get it done. No excuses, time to shine. JTS was all over the field, applied alot of pressure. Get the QB on the ground, get some sacks.

lol we barely even touched Hutchinson. And honestly didn’t even chip him that much. Was very disappointed to see Coen’s “plan” for dealing with him.
Skule is obviously trash, but he hardly had any help either.

Gripper, last I checked Porcelain doll Kancey was also a 1st round pick, just like Hutchinson, Garrett and Watt.
September 17th, 2024 at 4:55 pm
What’s with all the bellyaching over not stopping Hutchinson? Last I heard, he’s one of the top 5 defensive players in the NFL. His Defense was healthy unlike ours. We were also missing a major link on our OLine unlike the Lions. Bucs were serious underdogs but they BEAT the Lions, fair and square. Now, if Tampa Bay gets blown out of RJS next Sunday by cheating Sean P, then start the howling. I doubt that will happen.

Joe, meanwhile, Bryce Huff has an assisted take through 2 games, no other stats. Just saying, grass isn’t always greener.
September 18th, 2024 at 12:21 am
Hutchinson, Garrett and Watt are defensive ends / OLBs.
Kancey is a DT
Completely different positions.
September 18th, 2024 at 12:35 am
orlbucfan… no one was belly aching over Hutchinson. It was directed towards YaYa, for making excuses. Don’t wanna hear it.
September 18th, 2024 at 12:24 pm
I remember a Saints game when we held A. Kamara to only 30 yards. I just forget how we did that. It might have worked on Hutch.
